Gu Huanhuan thought for a moment. Wasnât that Wen Chiâs number? She seemed to have saved him as a contact before⦠Why didnât his name show up on the caller ID?
Why was he looking for her? She suddenly felt nervous.
Gu Huanhuan walked away sheepishly out of Sister Guanâs sight before she pressed the answer button. Soon, Wen Chiâs deep and clean voice sounded from the other end of the phone.
âAre you free?â
âWhatâs up?â
âI guess something.â Wen Chi stammered as he responded with embarrassment.
Gu Huanhuan had a puzzled look on her face. His response was ridiculous. She didnât get an answer about why he was looking for her.
Wen Chi indeed felt a little uncomfortable. He used to be an expert at picking up girls but it seemed a little different with Gu Huanhuan. He always couldnât find the right words.
âThen, what is up?â Gu Huanhuan didnât think that Wen Chi would call her for no reason. He couldnât be calling to ask her to be his fake girlfriend again, right?
âDonât tell me you want me to be your fake girlfriend againâ¦â Gu Huanhuan said tentatively. She couldnât think of any other reason he would call her.
âUm⦠not the fake kind. The real kind. Will you be my girlfriend, please?â Wen Chi went with the flow and asked his question out loud.
After he said it, he became nervous again. He didnât know how Gu Huanhuan would respond.
Gu Huanhuan, who was on this end of the phone, was stunned. She thought that she was hallucinating.
âAre you serious? Why?â Gu Huanhuan was still rational. Wen Chi couldnât be doing this to please his mother, right?
âHuanhuan, I like you.â Wen Chi was surprised at himself after he said his deepest thought out loud.
Gu Huanhuanâs face instantly turned red. She often received love confessions but no one had done it like Wen Chi. It made her heart race.
Gu Huanhuan bit her lips for a while until she said, âHmmâ¦â
âDoes hmm mean that you agree?â Wen Chi asked nervously. He didnât even get this nervous when going into a major surgery, but he was very anxious at the moment.
He felt a thin layer of sweat on his palms.
âYes, I happen to like you too.â Gu Huanhuan had always been direct. She didnât like beating around the bush. Moreover, she felt that it was just the right age for her to be in a serious relationship.
It really wasnât easy to meet someone you liked who liked you back.
Wen Chi was ecstatic.
âBut you know my profession. It might affect your private life.â Gu Huanhuan said worriedly.
âWeâre both single. We are not stealing or trafficking drugs. Weâre in the clear. Whatâs there to worry about? Or do you think that Iâm not good enough for you?â Wen Chi joked.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âNo, the opposite. Youâre too outstanding, and I donât want you be remembered as someone I pursued.â Gu Huanhuan said with a smile. This person was quite narcissistic, but he had earned the right to be arrogant.
âItâs fine. Letâs just go with the flow. Weâll face any difficulties together. Weâll be able to overcome any difficulties if we work as a team.â Wen Chiâs words finally lifted a weight off Gu Huanhuanâs shoulders.
She was worried that he would only realize the problem after they got together.
âOkay.â Gu Huanhuan also nodded with determination.
âThen, my girlfriend, where are you now? Iâll come and pick you up.â Wen Chi said lightheartedly.
âItâs too late. You should rest. Sister Gao is on her way to pick me up now. I just finished filming for the day.â Gu Huanhuan said reluctantly.
She would very much like to see him now, but Sister Gao was with her. She couldnât let Sister Gao find out about her relationship until she found a suitable place and time to tell her.
